Selling a 1989 Pontiac firebird Convertible.

for sale is a 1989 Pontiac Firebird Convertible.I am in Central California " area code 559, zip Code 93257. Right inbetween Bakersfield an fresno The Interior is in decent condition. Power windows/doorlocks. 133,000 on chassis, There are a few problems that I just dont have the time or money to fix. The front seal on the transmission needs to be replaced and the exhaust system needs to be replaced. It was put on wrong an rubs on various places on the undercarriage. It's a 3 in system. The top was installed not too long ago an is in Great condition. Everything works. I don't have the time or money to fix this car. Nor am I in the financial situation to be driving around an 8 cyl. I need to sell ASAP to a good home with someone willing to fix the few things left. Price is negotiable, but i'm starting it at 3500 as I really need the money an am hoping someone with some extra cash that wants a convertible would be willing to help me out. I have registered the car as Planned non op. Title is in hand. So someone out there that is interested, please help me out. I'm looking to get myself back on a motorcycle to help with gas prices. As this car is my only transportation as of now.
My contact info: Cell : 559-789-2550 Email: timcell@gmail.com

A little info on My car. A little history on the car. that a fellow third gen'er found for me. Your car is #6 of 58 (known) LO3 Firebirds converted by ASC in 1989. " ASC was contracted by Pontiac to build convertibles from T-Tops under factory spec."
Your car is 1 of 2 that were shipped to Pete Johnston Pontiac, Which is in paso robles" the other car was an trans Am with a 350.
Your car was shipped from ASC on 1-14-1989.

Here are some direct links to six photos of my car. Request photos if you want. I'd be happy to oblige

I am looking to sell the car around $3500. Price is negotiable. I really need to get this car off my hands an into someones who can actually use it. I really like the car but my personal an financial situation is bleak.

As far as shipping:
DASautoshippers.com says 550 estimated to ship to zip code
28201 charlotte,NC with an estimated delivery time of 21 days. I"m sure there is cheaper an more expensive services out there, an if someone is serious I will find the cheapest acceptable shipper possible.

Last I checked the seal was dripping out leaving 3 or so drops when parked. It will need to be replaced soon. I had the main gasket replaced an transmission serviced about 1 week ago an found the front seal was the culprit. It is the actual mileage. give or take a few hundred. I know it's 133,xxx. The engine was rebuilt pretty recently, " within the last 6,000 miles" I dont' have papers to prove it, just the word of the man whom I acquired the car from. The car runs great. accelerates nicely, Holds a steady idle. Doesn't heat up past where it's supposed to be. The car is parked an covered at the moment at my mothers home. so I'd have to check again for the actual.so the offer is right around 2200. If it comes to it I will be forced to sell that low. But I'm going to wait an see if anyone else can get the car, that iscloser to me an a little closer to what I need for it.

I forgot to mention, im' also including 1 set of these, there is a crack in the red reflector on the left hand side. minor scratches that can probably be buffed out with a little elbow grease. Nevertheless I know these go for a pretty penny an I'll just throw them in with the car. Car also has a new alternator, which I forgot to mention. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me or email or even text me. I need this car gone soon.
